It is legal. The only Utah firearm law that concerns alcohol is this one.

76-10-528 Carrying a dangerous weapon while under influence of alcohol or drugs unlawful.

(1) Any person who carries a dangerous weapon while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance as defined in Section 58-37-2 is guilty of a class B misdemeanor. Under the influence means the same level of influence or blood or breath alcohol concentration as provided in Section 41-6-44 .

(2) It is not a defense to prosecution under this section that the person:
(a) is licensed in the pursuit of wildlife of any kind; or
(b) has a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm.

As a LEO he can OC how much he wants UNLESS his Department per policy does NOT allows it. That's what he has to make sure. I mean I don't want him to loose his job due to breaking Department Policy.

Wouldn't that be a violation of 76-10-500? Cops are people too, and have rights.

76-10-500 Uniform law. (1) The individual right to keep and bear arms being a constitutionally protected right, the Legislature finds the need to provide uniform laws throughout the state. Except as specifically provided by state law, a citizen of the United States or a lawfully admitted alien shall not be:
(a) prohibited from owning, possessing, purchasing, selling, transferring, transporting, or keeping any firearm at his place of residence, property, business, or in any vehicle lawfully in his possession or lawfully under his control; or
(b) required to have a permit or license to purchase, own, possess, transport, or keep a firearm.
(2) This part is uniformly applicable throughout this state and in all its political subdivisions and municipalities. All authority to regulate firearms shall be reserved to the state except where the Legislature specifically delegates responsibility to local authorities or state entities. Unless specifically authorized by the Legislature by statute, a local authority or state entity may not enact or enforce any ordinance, regulation, or rule pertaining to firearms.

The only reason I would question if the department can regulate would be.
a. If it's department issued firearm/holster etc. I assume the department can regulate how and when it's equipment is used... Maybe...
b. If you are carrying in areas that only LEO's can carry (courts, secure areas, etc). This shouldn't apply since it still goes back to regulating firearms... But this brings up a very interesting discussion.
